Brightspace MCP Server

By Rohan Muppa, ECE @ Purdue

Talk to your Brightspace courses with AI. Ask about grades, due dates, announcements, and more. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Windsurf.

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects your AI to D2L Brightspace so it can pull your grades, assignments, syllabus, and course content on demand.

Works with any school that uses D2L Brightspace, including Purdue, USC, and hundreds more.

Try It

"Download my lecture slides and turn them into interactive flashcards" "Grab every assignment rubric and build me a visual dashboard of what I need to hit for an A"

Install

You need: Node.js 18+ (download the LTS version)

Option 1: Let your AI do it

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Codex, or any AI coding assistant:

Install brightspace-mcp-server for me by following
https://github.com/RohanMuppa/brightspace-mcp-server/blob/main/LLMs.md
(use --purdue if I'm at Purdue).

Option 2: Run it yourself

npx brightspace-mcp-server setup

Purdue students can add --purdue to skip entering the school URL:

npx brightspace-mcp-server setup --purdue

The wizard walks you through login, MFA, and auto configures Claude Desktop and Cursor. Restart your AI client when it finishes.

Using a different client? Configure it manually.

Search your client's docs for how to add an MCP server. The server command to register is:

npx -y brightspace-mcp-server@latest

On Windows, npx must be wrapped: cmd /c npx -y brightspace-mcp-server@latest

You still need to run npx brightspace-mcp-server setup first to save your credentials.

Session Expired?

Sessions re-authenticate automatically. If auto-reauth fails (e.g., you missed the Duo push):

npx brightspace-mcp-server auth

What You Can Ask About

Session tokens are encrypted (AES-256-GCM)
All traffic to Brightspace is HTTPS
Nothing is sent anywhere except your school's login page
